I list the martial blogs that I regularly read on the right sidebar. Some of the ones I enjoyed have dried up and stopped, so I'm on the hunt for replacements, especially (but not only) "Japanese" Jiu-jitsu blogs.

I seem to overlap somewhat with your blogroll but I would recommend Iain Abernethy's blog here:http://blog.iainabernethy.com/

Partly because he's an affable guy open to good discussion around the martial arts but mostly because he's really *into* his training.

The downside for you, perhaps, is that he is karate focused. Having said that his bunkai looks deep into grappling and clinches. (See http://www.iainabernethy.com/books/chapter_karates_grappling_methods.asp)

We already overlap quite a lot with our blog rolls and most of the ones I visit that you don't are karate blogs! However you could try My Self-defence blog (http://myselfdefenseblog.com/). John Zimmer who writes this blog tends to look a lot at self defence in real situations, often analysing video clips of fights caught on camera. It makes a change from dojo based discussions on self defence. However he does have a karate background!

Interesting question Dan, I am also building a list of blogs; I am already a fan of SueC & I will follow Narda's list to see where it goes.

I am an active member of http://www.kyokushin4life.com/forums/Not precisely your style, but a very active, respectful and welcoming community, eager to learn and grow richer with inputs from multiple sources and angles. You may like to check it out.

I very recently started my own blog at http://www.karatejourney.com/ At 46 I engaged on an around the world karate journey; I explain in more details why, how & where in my about page.Should you chose to visit, please let me know by signing the guest book, I'd be honored.
